- Humans have a soul as they are made 'in the image of God'
- The soul is immortal
- soul wants to be with God + 'do right' but the body is weak and wants pleasure
- 'The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
- Heaven, Hell + Purgatory
- Traditional Heaven = clouds, angels, harps
- Modern Heaven = where God is: eternity with God
- Traditional Hell = eternal punishment, fire, devil
- Modern Hell = where God is not: an eternity without God
- Purgatory = Roman Catholic belief, a place for people who have died, but not ready to go to Heaven
- Traditional Heaven = clouds, angels, harps
